I discovered time team on Danish TV in 1997/8, and since then I have watched the whole series 4 times, and it helped me through an illness in 2013 to 2016, so I am very grateful to the whole team behind and in front of the series, and i love the new timeteam also, so i just want to say you all are just awesome:)

[@donaldfinch1411]

The Mick Aston mascot is EPIC! Needs to be in every episode somehow....

[@Odanti]

I agree! It was great to hear Mick's name again. I loved seeing and hearing old stories about Mick. I miss him often. I like to think he is walking around the site and listening to everyone. ❤️🙏❤️

[@HAL-su8uc]

I agree with you Donald, Mick is such a beloved icon and Time Team is better for having him with us.

[@gubjorggisladottir3525]

Totally... and there should be another mascot for the painter and everybody else who are no longer alive. Student´s should also be invited on Time Team digs... those who will be the professionals 20-40 years from today.

[@dawnvyas8856]

100% agree

[@rdstedall]

Great to see Paul involved again despite his recent health issues. He's always been one of my favourites with his dry sense of humour. Looking forward to seeing the full episode in the Spring.

[@markberman6708]

I thought the same thing, great dude and always adds a sense of his own style of fun. Great at talking with kids too, like so many on Time Team, dedicated to teaching and sharing with all.

[@kdjohnson1998]

You can friend him on Facebook!

[@laurachapple6795]

The little Mick doll! I nearly burst into tears. It's adorable.

[@martinmchugh001]

I don't know why, but this program has always managed to fill me with excitement AND peace of mind. Thanks guys!

[@sophoklesgreek3237]

exactly ... it is simply the best... for fact.. Time Team helped me to coped with my depression ..Idk why.. but watch those lovely people doing their thing... it is just the best

[@HUMPTYNUGGET]

I am in love with that Mick doll!!!

[@libbyhess9770]

add Time Team reboot to the list of things to be grateful for this Thanksgiving

[@caracan]

There is a Mic mascot?! That is really rather sweet.

[@RICDirector]

I about bawled. Miss the old team, welcome the new!

[@seanmcnally6658]

You can’t have a Saxon dig without Sam and his infectious love for Saxon culture. Because him I’ve read Beowulf and other material on Anglo Saxon culture.

[@Visible.Friend]

Awe, I want a Mick doll. Love the show. hUgz, Lee

[@RobBoudreau]

Always great seeing Jackie McKinley. She has an amazing knack for taking complex topics and explaining them in simple and relatable ways. Watched her in many shows besides TT and that ability has always impressed me. All the best to you Paul, pure joy to see you again.

[@MsRain49]

And, the fact that she was there tells us something. 😁

[@belder3655]

Really excited to see Jackie, Paul, and Sam back!

[@SuperRabbi1]

I hope Paul Blinkhorn is doing well. He is one of my favourite in TT - besides Mick Aston and Phil Harding

[@all4one5]

After hearing the homeowner talk in his garden, I am thoroughly excited for the next installment.

[@anjagiersch4827]

How is this possible? Matt hasn't aged a day! 😁

[@annazaman9657]

Neither has Jackie

[@Pembroke.]

It's always lovely to see a family work together, even through the rough moments because at the end of the day there are beers, good food, and hugs all around. 🍺

[@bluestatedem]

Dig 3, as well!! I can hardly wait. This is, by far, the most rewarding Patreon I've been involved with. Great stuff - looking forward to these episodes airing on KZbin.

[@margielewis6009]

good to see every one again, altogether great to see people who love their jobs!

[@evestone5361]

I agree with the homeowner. So true, it's the people that make the archeology so fun and interesting.

[@fraeris1]

Good evening from Norway 🇧🇻 I've been watching old tt episodes most of the weekend.

[@melissamybubbles6139]

Best wishes to the entire team. Thank you for what you do.

[@amandachapman4708]

Gosh, I am so looking forward to seeing the finished episode. Roll on spring!

[@TimeTeamOfficial]

It'll be worth wait!

[@submsdiver]

Awwww I miss Mic, thank you for bringing him with you in your hearts

[@rjblaskiewicz]

Love to see the community involvement. In the original show, I always enjoyed seeing people tear up their own gardens because strangers asked nicely. :)

[@schoolingdiana9086]

Will there be a Mick doll in the Time Team Shop???? Oh my stars… 😍

[@evolassunglasses4673]

This channel is doing wonderful work.

[@JeffWusch]

Woot awesome so excited. Been binge watching old ep's on Time Team Classics all weekend!!

[@stephenkayser3147]

Thank you Time Team. You have done a great job as always. You have helped greatly over the years to keep me sane in a world that is not. The mention of Mic and his criteria brought tears to my eyes. God bless you all.

[@ajj9694]

Fun seeing Naomi. She used to be just a kid and was always so excited about her work.

[@claymonsterpottery]

Knitted Mick made it all worth it.

[@brettbrown9261]

...I have a suspicion that this Episode in the new Series will be my favorite of the 3 new digs this year. It's nice to see some more of the old gang back for the adventure that is the NEW TIME TEAM.

[@ThePointyOne]

After all these years watching TT, amazing to actually appear (very, very briefly) in this film!

[@stichhalbierer9329]

Have you been part of the community dig? I was fortunate to make a similar experience without the time team, but with Carenza in June. It was great fun.

[@MuZeSiCk77]

I love to see some TimeTeam. I appreciate the efford. But I'm glad Toni is returning to the series. Who thought that some boring archeologist would bring compelling structure to the episodes? Or that a few "yes men' would replace a person who questions al he sees and everything they find? With questions that regular people would ask. So for me, its a good thing, a big change and a welcome one. Makes the program human again. Thank you all!!

[@PartlySunny74]

Love to all and best of health too! I too hope Paul Blickman is well. He is such a knowledgeable and friendly fellow who has taught us so much about the ancestors. So exciting to watch developments from the US. The teasers about this and the next digs are working! ❤❤❤

[@charlesoberdorf8478]

The fact that they are finding new things in the last 2 hours of day 3 makes me think they should add on a day 4! Can't wait to see whats next!

[@kateatherton3002]

I'm so proud and happy to be a patreon. Good to see Paul.

Micks quotes made my eyes watery. No, I am not crying... I am just nostalgic.

How wonderful to hear that song here on the internet! hUgz, Lee

[@doncook2054]

Tremendous excitement so evident in this video-; and the community coming together-again. So great to see all the familiar faces; like a family reunion!! So wonderful to see Paul, again---always in my meditations, Paul!!! Thank You all for using our money to propel our dream; the best thing i've spent money on in almost two years!!!

[@ninagadsdon8414]

Wonderful stuff and definitely the best money I spend each month. Brilliant to see everyone's favourite pot monkey/human saxophone (his words) back as well.

Where in Norfork, Uk is the New Dig? I really enjoy watching the show.

[@TimeTeamOfficial]

@@karenparker9390 Thanks for watching. Full details to follow in the main episode in Spring 2023.

[@waynesworldofsci-tech]

LOL. Bunch of teases they are! Now I want to fly to England and poke around that area too. Where there’s one site… Can’t wait to see the episode, what answers we get, and what questions get raised. But I think this one sets a record - first Time Team where rain was welcomed! Oh, and Helen’s body language promises a delicious surprise. Oh man, now I’m even more excited!

[@c1ph3rpunk]

As much as I know I’ll enjoy the new dig, it still feels a little bittersweet without Phil & Tony and especially the legend, Mick. But boy, has Matt aged a day? Dude, what’s your secret?

[@mike_lowndes]

Steve Shearn you brought a tear to my eye.

[@sallywallian8837]

What fun! Can't wait to see the actual show. Especially nice to see Sam again &, of course, "the gang", especially Helen and Paul! I've really enjoyed being a patron, as well. Thanks to everyone for keeping TT alive and playing in the dirt!

[@calsale6424]

Looks to be an exciting dig. Can't wait to see it. I must add, is Paul Blinkhorn ok. I certainly hope all is well.

[@jampot79]

I believe he’s recovering really well. It’s great to see him back where he belongs!

[@MsRain49]

Yay! I voted for this one. And am super excited at a third dig with links to the USA. 💗

[@skattered888]

i do hope this season they add a bit of lighthearted comedy and banter into the show. Thats the one thing missing with the new eps. that comedic banter between tony, phil and the lot

[@classicambo9781]

Remember that team had well over 200 digs together though. It takes time and feeling people out for banter to be genuine and not scripted. So used to canned laughter these days we seek it everywhere.

[@amazinggrace5692]

My god yes. It feels s9 dry and boring.

[@sayntfuu]

This is what television was meant to be. Educational and edifying. So much of what is created and broadcast is just garbage filler of the worst order. These are our ancestors' tragic tails of triumph and toil. Lessons pulled from the dirt itself that all returns to. The Equilibrium of History.

[@theemurman1]

This is as long as one of the regular episodes. Guss the host is great, still. But you need to do the scans and lidar stuff before anyone gets there from now on. Also John and Stewart need a few pre arrival days or drop the 3 day thing. Science has changed and we can’t do without them like the 90’s. Nobody is going to complain if you drop the 3 days thing. I’m an OG watcher and I’ve always had these thoughts but after this last episodes it makes the most sense.
